Impostare

1. Disimballaggio e ispezione

Estrarre con cautela l'altoparlante dalla confezione. Ispezionare l'altoparlante per verificare eventuali segni di danni durante il trasporto. In caso di danni, contattare immediatamente il rivenditore.

2. Fissaggio dei piedini

Your Kendall speakers come with two types of feet: rubber feet and spike feet. Choose the appropriate type based on your flooring.

• Piedini in gomma: Ideal for hard surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate to prevent scratches and provide isolation. Screw the rubber feet directly into the threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker.
• Spike Feet: Recommended for carpeted floors to penetrate the carpet and couple the speaker directly to the subfloor, improving stability and sound clarity. Screw the spike feet into the threaded inserts. If using on hard floors, place the protective discs under each spike to prevent damage.

3. Posizionamento degli altoparlanti

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality. Consider the following guidelines:

• Immagine stereo: Place speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
• Distanza dalla parete: Experiment with placing speakers a few feet away from walls to reduce bass boom and improve soundstage profondità.
• Convergenza: Angle the speakers slightly inward towards the listening position to optimize imaging and detail.
• Acustica della stanza: Soft furnishings, carpets, and curtains can help absorb reflections and improve sound quality.

4. Connessione a un Amplificatore/ricevitore

Assicurati che amplificatore o ricevitore venga spento prima di effettuare qualsiasi collegamento.

• Use high-quality speaker cables.
• Collegare il terminale positivo (+) (rosso) dell'altoparlante al terminale positivo (+) del amppiù vivace.
• Collegare il terminale negativo (-) (nero) dell'altoparlante al terminale negativo (-) del amppiù vivace.
• Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano ben saldi per evitare cortocircuiti.
• The Kendall speakers feature dual binding posts for bi-wiring or bi-amping. If not bi-wiring/bi-amping, ensure the metal jumpers connecting the upper and lower terminals are in place.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Una volta connesso, accendi il tuo amplifier/receiver and select the appropriate input. Start with a low volume level and gradually increase it to your desired listening level. The KLH Kendall speakers are designed for use with music and movies, providing a full-range audio experience.

• Gestione della potenza: The speaker has a maximum output power of 150 Watts. Avoid exceeding this limit to prevent damage.
• Periodo di rodaggio: Like many high-fidelity speakers, the Kendall may benefit from a break-in period of several hours of normal use to achieve optimal sound performance.
• Grille Use: The included grille can be attached or removed based on aesthetic preference. Removing the grille may offer a slightly more open sound, while keeping it on protects the drivers.

Manutenzione

To maintain the appearance and performance of your KLH Kendall speakers, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Pulizia degli armadietti: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cabinet surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
• Pulizia delle griglie: If the grille becomes dusty, gently vacuum it with a soft brush attachment or wipe it with a slightly damp panno. Assicurarsi che sia completamente asciutto prima di riattaccarlo.
• Assistenza al conducente: Avoid touching the speaker drivers (tweeter, woofers) as this can cause damage.
• Condizioni ambientali: Keep speakers away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter issues with your KLH Kendall speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Nessun suono:
  • Check all cable connections between the speaker and amplificatore. Assicurarsi che siano ben saldi e correttamente polarizzati (+ con + e - con -).

  • Test with another audio source or speaker if available to isolate the problem.
• Suono distorto / scarsa qualità:
